Great entry. I learned a few things about Weird Al that I never knew before.

Just two suggestions:

1) You refer to "It's All About the Pentiums" as one of his "newer" songs, and you mention that the DVD of "UHF" was "recently" released. These comments are already dated, and will only sound more so as time goes on. Better to use absolute time references (or none at all) instead of relative ones when writing an entry.

2) The list of Al's most popular songs is in random order. Wouldn't it look better if they were listed alphabetically... or, better yet, chronologically, so the reader can easily follow how Al's style has developed over the years?

Ciao!

Point #1: Perhaps the word "recently" does date the text too much, so I will change it, I guess. I do not think the word "newer" is that bad - I could have used the word "newest" instead. The song will be one of his "newer" ones for a while, even if he releases a few more albums. If you, or anyone, can think of a good replacement, though, you can suggest one.

Point #2: The songs are in order, more or less, of "popularity". The most noteworthy are at the top.
